this is something that governor romney indicted in massachusetts when we were running for office. it's fairly easy to do with the infrastructure is in place to provide the names of interested qualified women to fill the slots so that it is an easy process. we reached out across the country. i have to say the person who did it best in the country is right here with us today tracie in connecticut. she is now the model i believe for this approach around the nation, and we hope to replicate that and by other states to follow that and to inspire and pressure governors to participate in this because nothing is simpler than to elevate women to the appointed post where they are qualified and we know there's plenty of qualified women out there to fill the post. so we have a few minutes left for questions, and i know we have some questions coming off the internet. >> judy woodruff of the pbs newshour. one of the things that certainly has marked this congress is the grid lock and on one issue after another it seems while there's been some cooperation, clearly there's also been a lot of disag

romney has his own super pac called "restore our future." it is currently outspending every other pac in florida by 20 to 1. i wish i could tell you how this is possible, but the first disclosure statement from this campaign season isn't out until the end of this month. and even then it will be hard to trace back individual companies or people through all the shell corporations and other pacs. and this is only the beginning. hold on to your hats. over the next ten months i predict we will not just see a flood, but we will see a tidal wave of political spending by corporations and the wealthiest of the wealthiest americans. the vast majority of whom are also running these corporations? it means it'll be hard for a $25 individual contribution to make any impact when compared to a single $5 million check from the superwealthy and superself-interested individual. your voice and the voice of millions of americans like you will be overwhelmed by the voice of a corporation or uberwealthy individual that can write multimillion-dollar checks without
